Samantha Sheehan founded POE in 2009 specializing in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Anderson Valley vineyards. The winemaker is Jonathan Keyes, currently an assistant at Outpost Wines working under noted winemaker Thomas Brown.
The 2010 offerings include a Ferrington Vineyard Chardonnay and Angel Camp Vineyard Pinot Noir. My brief encounter with these wines indicates this is a winery to put on your radar.
The wines are sold through the website store and a mailing list.

2009 POE Angel Camp Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., 300
cases, $48. Vineyard farmed by noted viticulturist, Paul Ardzrooni.Clones 115,
Swan, 2A, Pommard and 667. Aged in 40% new Francois Freres and Remond
French oak.
·
Moderately dark reddish-purple color in the glass. Deep, dark and
mysterious with flamboyant aromas of black berries, brewed tea, and oak notes
of mocha and vanilla, becoming more vibrant over time in the glass. Full-bodied
and very tasty with a luscious and slightly sweet core of black plum and black
grape flavors accented by hints of oak and dark chocolate. The impressive
depth of fruit is well balanced by acidity and tannins, so it should drink well for
several years. Very good.
